The Ertzainas will take over the cameras from November
- The Basque Government Security Advisor, Bingen Zupiria, announced on Wednesday that the Ertzainas will take over the video cameras from November onwards. It is common for the police, without concealing anything, to remove the cameras and record live what is happening in an intervention, as well as the faces of the people on the spot. But soon the police will have cameras that will be more hidden and will be able to record what happens in any intervention.
Zarata mediatikoz beteriko garai nahasiotan, merkatu logiketatik urrun eta irakurleengandik gertu dagoen kazetaritza beharrezkoa dela uste baduzu, ARGIA bultzatzera animatu nahi zaitugu. Geroz eta gehiago gara, jarrai dezagun txikitik eragiten.
In 2022, the Ertzaintza purchased 1,387 such devices. "In the police stations I have visited, I have seen how the structures and platforms are prepared for these cameras to be loaded properly with energy and to correctly download the images inside the computers," the counselor explained.
What use will be given to them?
The Basque Government has taken this step in the name of "police transparency", but, as usual, the actual use that will subsequently be made of the content recorded by the cameras can be very diverse. It remains to be seen why the authorities make use of mass recordings, but Zupiria has already announced that they will not use the images exclusively for the agents of the Ertzaintza.
"It's going to be one more resource to see how things happen and make decisions about them, both from a police point of view and from the point of view of justice," Zupiria said. "I am convinced that at many times it will also give security to the Ertzaintza, because the acts that will be carried out will be recorded and that is also important," he added.
